<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Independence Day from <a href="http://katieisabella.blogspot.com/2017/07/happy-4th-kitties-and-woofies-and.html">Katie Isabella</a> and I. It's so exciting to have her here with me on a holiday no less. We've been having fun snuggling and chasing birdies that fly to the bird feeder. Of course we can't really get them because there is a window seperating us from the birdies and outside. Dang! But with two of us going at it, maybe we'll bust right thru the window.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today is her first full day here, so stay tuned tomorrow or the next day for a peek at what we've been up to. Oh, don't tell her mom that she snuck out of the house last night and tunnelld her way to my house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Holiday - stay safe pals, and stay away from the boomer things!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hey Pals,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I won this battle - The battle of the bed at nap time! M lays down on the bed for a half hour a few times a day to rest her back - or so she says. Anyway she leaves a nice sized impression in the mattress, which makes me want to curl up in the middle of it for a nap. But she doesn't want me to nap there so the space is available for her when she wants it! NOT FAIR, I say!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This morning she thought she would fool me so I could not lay down on the bed where she naps. Well, I showed her!!! See how she has "stuff' piled around the area she thought I'd nap in! Well, I found another cozy spot. he he So who won this battle? Me, of course! She's not smart enough to outsmart this old boy!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm also displaying my "selfie" picture and linking up with "The Cat On My Head's" Selfie Blog Hop today. It's been awhile since I've been able to participate. Here's my entry for the selfie:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't even remember what I was scowling about, but it must have been something big cuz I sure don't look happy. I probably wanted M's attention and she wanted to finish what she was doing on the puter. Or I didn't want my picture taken. She should listen to me and only me - right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi Pals,</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, that's me at my favorite place again - the VET's. Only this time they stuffed me in my carrier and I had to ride for 45 minutes to Appleton to see a different specialist kind of vet. I was sent there instead of somewhere in our own city because they have an super sensitive ultra sound machine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gasp! There they shaved my belly and a little up on each side. Of all the NERVE!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you look closely to my hind feet, you can see very short black fur. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up very well. It doesn't really bother me, but I think it bothers M and Dl</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They told my peeps that I was an extra good boy and they didn't even have to sedate me at all. I did flinch slighty tho when they touched the area where the pancreas is located, but I didn't put up a fight or anything. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The vet put me on a yukky medicine that I'm supposed to take if I'm in pain. M says it's hard to tell when a kitty is hurting. But I guess her first clue should be if I start hiding in the closet and it's not raining or thundering. If they can't catch me to give that med, I have something that can be rubbed on my ear - I don't mind that one. But apparently it doesn't work quite as well as the other one. M said she will use the icky med only when she knows for sure I'm hurting. Otherwise, she'll put it on my ear if she thinks I might be in pain but isn't sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is no cure for what I have, and the vet said I could have flareups (whatever that means.) So if that happens, we have medicine on hand and can easily get more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It has not affected my appetite, although I have very discerning taste as to what I like and don't like. Just keep the good food coming and I'll be happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Me and my peeps are very thankful it isn't something worse. But purrs and prayers now and then would still be appreciated. We don't want it to get any worse. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Happy Mother's Day to the mom's of my pals. Each one of you is special. We furbabies love and appreciate you even tho we don't ever say anything. The most you will ever get from us in the way of a thank you is a wag of the tail, looked at with adoring eyes, we'll curl up on your lap for a nap, maybe a kiss if we are so inclined. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I really appreciate M, but I've never told her so. It's the little things that I do that tell her - when i give her a kiss (nose bitey), hop in her lap for no reason at all, cuddle up to her at night in bed when i'm cold, She says I'm the most affectionate kitty she's ever had, tho the other 3 came close. I think I'm just appreciative that I'm not living on the streets anymore and get 3 square meals a day plus extras. M plays a mean game of Neko Fly with me......Life is good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">How about you pals, do you love and appreiate your mom? What do you do to show it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm joining A Cat On My Head's Sunday Selfie Blog Hop - please join us.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi Pals:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Remember my blog post of that <a href="http://mariodacat.blogspot.com/2017/04/snoopervising-mr-d.html">crappy toy that M and D could not put together that came from China.</a> Well, Sunday sisfur and SIL came to see us. While SIL was doing some work on D's puter and a few other things for M, M showed Sisfur the toy they could not assemble and said maybe SIL could take it home and try sometime. If he could get it to work, they could have it for their two kitties - my cousins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sisfur fiddled around with it for just a minute or so and asked M for a AAA battery, which sisfur installed. PRESTO! Sisfur got it to work</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday I hopped up here by the sink to ask M for a drink. She promptly (for a change) ran fresh water in the sink for me. Then she "caught" me flipping me tail into the water. I was ever so quick, hoping she would not witness what had happened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you look real close, you can maybe make out that the very tip is a little damp! he he - I didn't let it stay in the water long enough to really soak it (I'm not that dumb). M ran and got the camera, but by that time I was through flicking my tail in the water. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That tail just gets wayward on me now and then and does it's own thing. Does your's do that?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm very thankful that it didn't get too wet, so I'm joining Brian's Tankful Thursday Blog Hop once again. Hop on board with us and have some fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our big thanks to Brian for hosting the hop once again. Last week M messed up on the link stuff. Hopefully she'll get it right this time. (Good help is impossible to get these days.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) that I'm allowed my two treats after supper. Well, it's after supper and I want them now!!!! I can't wait forever either cuz this sun is shinning right in my eyes. Staff is certainly falling down on their job lately! If I remember right, staff forgot to give them to me last night too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Speaking of staff, M is running around like a chicken with it's head cut off (some old dumb saying that her mother used to say). Why is she doing that - well it seems she is getting two toothies pulled early Thursday (tomorrow) morning. Big baby, is very nervous about it and moaning something about what am I going to eat. ha ha - as if she needed to eat anything. She could live off of her fat for a year and not have to eat. I had all my toothies pulled and didn't carry on like she is!!! Humans! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hope you have your staff whipped into shape and they jump when you command something. We cats rule - remember?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm joining <a href="https://www.brianshomeblog.com/2017/04/thankful-thursday-blog-hop-making-your-own-comfy.html">Brian's Home Blog Hop</a>. We are grateful Brian has kept the blog hop up and running. Hop on over and see Brian and his sisfurs - oh and new brovver!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What would my peeps do without me! I have to snoopervise all the work that goes on around this house. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">M ordered a really cute cat toy for me (or so she thought) from an ad she saw on Face Book. They showed a kitty playing with a butterfly attached to a thin piece of wire, which was attached to a base unit that looks like a daisy flower. The butterfly is supposed to whirl around and around for me to have fun with. Yeah - right!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">D decided one night, after being nagged - errr encouraged - by M to put it together to tackle the simple - errr complicated - task. I of course helped cuz he was dangling a very thin wire that was waving all around (He was being very careful that the wire didn't poke into my eye, so no kitties were harmed in this project). To make a long story short, we (D and I) worked on that piece of junk - errrr toy -- for over an hour and never did get it. There were no instructions. It came all the way from a country called China. Geeeesh - at least they could have included instructions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">M wrote to the company she bought it from, and of course has not heard a word from them. They never even answered her email. M said she learned a lesson - never again order something seen on Face Book as an ad. In this case, it was a ripoff, and we are not even sure we got all the parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm thankful I can share this on thankful thursday on <a href="http://mariodacat.blogspot.com/2017/04/snoopervising-mr-d.html">Brian's Home Blog Hop</a>. Thanks Brian for doing the hop once again. We are thankful for you and your family!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I got dragged off to the vet place again. This time it wasn't the ER, it was my regular vet place, which I like a whole lot better. I love their scale and am content to sit here for hours. In fact, the vet man even gave me the exam while I was laying here. He groped me all over, and then told M he didn't feel any problem.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What problem you ask. Well, M gets excited when I throw up too many times in a short time span - like within the same day. In this case she said I threw up 4 times during the night and then again 3 times in the morning. One time it was a perfect hairball that I had been building up to. he he - finally came out. Other than the hairball, the other times I presented her with soggy, wet kibble. Then she dashes me off to the vet to get a shot to quiet my stomach down, or sometimes D just gives me a pill that goes the same thing, but I am getting smart on the pill thing and run for under the bed when I think he's coming with one!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Vet man is thinking I'm allergic to over-the-counter cat food, and he recommends a prescription diet that I get to start tomorrow. He thinks I have been going through this same thing for a long time - like maybe 4 years now. So we'll try the new food. Actually the ER vet said the same thing, only he wanted me on a high protein diet, which I didn't like. So stay tuned and keep your paws crossed that I like the food (I have a habit of not liking a lot of food that M tries to get me to eat! Well, gee, a guy can be a little discerning can't he?)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm very thankful I'm home now and happy once again. So we're joining <a href="https://www.brianshomeblog.com/2017/04/thankful-thursday-blog-hop-learning-about-togetherness.html">Brian's Home Thankful Thursday Blog Hop</a>. Hop along with us.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy St. Patrick's Day Pals:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today is the day we all get to be Irish, even if we aren't! There is something special about St. Paddy's day. Is it because soon after it is celebrated, Spring usually shows it pretty head. Or is it because the Irish really know how to celebrate! Whatever it is, it's usually festive and fun. So, just call me O'Mario and have a good time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh, I'll be tending bar at @BorisTheKitty's SciFI pawty on Saturday at 4:00 EST. Come on over. That pawty is always a good time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thisi s O'Mario signing off for today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh yes, and a shamrock for all the lovely ladies. I just picked them myself. One for each ladycat delivered with a Mario Smooch.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, which art work do you prefer - the bottom one, which is the original photo or the top photo, which was doctored up in Photoshop Elements 10, or the middle one, again doctored up in Photoshop Elements 10. We could have gone on and used about 20 other options in Photoshop, but decided this was enough to give us an idea on how the same photo would look doctored up by two different means. It's kinda fun playing around with this stuff, if one only has the time (says M).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now for the up date on my swatting skills. I'm embarrassed to say that I still haven't caught the bug, but I might have scared him off because no one has seen him now for about 4 days and all signs warning visitors of the "bug" have now been removed. He was a nasty bug, and I'm happy M & D didn't have to be stung by him. Apparently I at least chased him out of the apartment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Swat! Swat! Geese, I missed again. I have to practice my swatting skills because M says this building has a huge influenza bug going around. I haven't seen any huge bugs, but I'm trying to practice on little things. I've never seen an influenza bug, so I'm not even sure what they even look like. So far I've been missing everything I've swatted at, but it's hard to practice when you can't swat at the real thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">M says they don't have it - yet - and M says they are taking every precaution not to get it. So stay tuned on that one. If they do get it, I'm going to try my best to kill that bug. I used to be quite good at killing bugs, but I'm out of practice since living here. We haven't had any bugs since we moved in. Swat Swat Swat missed again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's Sunday selfie time again, so we're joining The Cat On My Head's Sunday Selfie Blog Hop. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Shh, don't tell M that I'm napping on her heating pad! She does not have it turned on anyway, but she does not think I should nap on it for some reason. I thought it was crazy of her to even post the picture, but she said everyone would love to see my footies! Gesssh, there are just cats' feet - nothing to get excited about. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm joining Brian's Home for his Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I'm very thankful for M's heating pad, especially when she has just turned it off and it is still warm. Ahhhhh! I'm also thankful for Brian, who manages the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop these days. He and his family really ROCK - they are always doing something special for a kitty somewhere. I'm also very thankful for all my blogging friends, twitter friends, and face book friends. I am one very fortunate kitty cat!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My peeps are not very happy today. We finally got rid of all the snow we had cuz my human sisfur and SIL were here on Sunday and SIL cleaned up the parking lot around our car. The rest of it melted this past week. Then came Tuesday night into Wednesday when we got a combination of freezing drizzle topped off with about 5 inches of snow again. M said it can't melt fast enough to suit her. D is supposed to have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning. M is hoping they have our car shoveled out by that point so he can still go. Always something M says.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope all is "right" with your world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I cheated a little this week on the artwork for <a href="http://www.athenacatgoddess.com/2017/02/caturday-art-tattoo-style-with-lunapic.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_c">Athena's Caturday Art Blog Hop</a>. We just came back from visiting over there and loved her tattoo sketch that she did on LunaPic. So we went over there too and you see what we came up with. Pretty cool - right? Athena's turned out great and we're pleased with mine too. I think I could have chosen a better frame, but next time we'll pay more attention to that detail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was going to submit this same picture, which we worked on in Photoshop Elements 10 which is on our computer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's not bad either, but we like the Tattoo version better because it has color and brings out the details better I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thanks for visiting. Now hop on the blog hop and wee all the great art work.</span><br />

Hi Pals,<br />
<br />
Everyone please give a warm welcome to our new kit on the blogging block - Teddy K of <a href="https://onespoiledcat.wordpress.com/2017/02/19/my-welcome-blog-hop/">TwoSpoiledCats</a>. Isn't he just the cutest? M is going ape on me here beccause she just loves orange furbabies and that is what Teddy is. Anyway welcome to the Cat Blogosphere! I'm your uncle Mario! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm so happy that Angel Sammy sent you to live over at TwoSpoiledCat'sHouse because they miss Sammy so very much after he crossed that Rainbow Bridge. You will help ease their pain by doing cute things to make them laugh. In fact, I would make that your top priority job every day. Now listen to your Uncle Mairo pal cuz that is a very important job -- make therm laugh every day as often as you can.<br />
<br />
In case you don't have any ideas yet on what to do, here's just a couple that always worked for me:<br />
<br />
1. Lay on the floor as if to go to sleep. Then bounce up as fast as you can and run around the room as fast as your little legs can carry you. You might throw a couple of hops in there too while running around.<br />
<br />
2. Another thing that is good is doing summersaults while running around the room. The humans will go nuts over that one.<br />
<br />
That gives you a couple of ideas to get started on. I'm sure our other pals will give you advice too. We're just happy you are here.<br />
<br />
I'm joining two blog hops today. One is the welcome for Teddy over at Maddi and Dpry's Blog Hop and the other is <a href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/">TheCatOnMyHead's Selfie Sunday</a><br />
<br />
Hop on board and have some fun with us.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Blogoversary to meeeee! I'm in my 9th year. When we started M never thought we'd come up with enough material to last this long, but I fooled her!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My blog was created 10/22/09, but I didn't write a post to publish ontil 12/20/09 cuz neither M nor I felt it was a good blog. It was very intimidating those first few blogs becuase there are so many more experienced writers out there that have great blogs. But we persisted with the help and encouragement of so many blogging pals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm forever thankful to each and every one of you who have helped us out with something through the years. All we ever have to do is ask for HELP, and someone knows the answer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I said in my last blog, we are forever thankful for all our blogging and Twitter friends. We've met some wonderful people in the 9 years in the blogging world and 12 years in the Twitter world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm joining <a href="http://www.brianshomeblog.com/2017/01/thankful-thursday-blog-hop-my-new-bed-from-speedy.html">Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Ho</a>p again this week, and we're always thankful for Brian for keeping this hop going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh yes, I'm feeling better. M tried calling my vet today to see what she recommends for food, as the ER vet suggested something in a high protein (such as Kangaroo). However, M said she's not going to give me Kangaroo food because our good friend Michele of PepiSmartDog's blog rescues so many Roos right in her own backyard on the golf course in Australia. So, maybe we'll try duck and/or rabbit instead.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Pals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I got dragged off to the vet place again - the ER Vet place this time. M was all worried because I had been throwing up so much again, and she couldn't get it to stop. I was also acting like I just didn't feel good; no spirt in me, just laying around sleeping too much - all those things we cats do that is normal!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My own vet is closed on Sundays, but they have an ER Vet really close to our apartment (darn it all!) Tomorrow we're supposed to get freezing rain and snow, and M was getting all nervous that she couldn't get me to the vet to get me checked over. Calm down lady, I've been trying to tell you that my tummy is a little upset - that's all!! These humans just don't listen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, the Vet doctor told her the same thing basically. If I don't get better, they will probably send me to Appleton (where sisfur and SIL live) to get an ultra sound done of the tummy. But he said he's not too worried about that now. He's thinking my problem might be more food related. So he's going to talk to my vet and have her recommend a high protein diet to see if that helps. I guess there will be no more Fancy Feast for me!!!! My tummy already doesn't like chicken, and I don't like the taste of beef, and now I may have a intolerance for fishy foods. Yikes - what's left? Stay tuned! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the meantime, I'm available for invitations for dinner at your house cuz there is nothing good at mine!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Until next time,</span><br />

Hi Pals,<br />
<br />
Whew! Holidays sure are exhausting! I'm all worn out and just want to lay on my perch in the sunpuddles forever! <br />
<br />
We do have a mystery to solve however. Take a look at my perch and belly. Both look like they are dirty - really dirty! My belly is snow white not dirty..<br />
<br />
M was horrified that I wanted to post the picture, but that's how i'm feeling today. I promise my belly and perch are not dirty at all. Is it a play on light with the camera or what? M always hates taking pictgures into a window. But this is one of my favorite spots because it's the only spot where the sun comes in thru the window. I love my cat tree too, but that is not in a sunny window except late in the day in the summer. So what exactly is going on? It's a mystery! I'm not giving up my favorite spot because I look dirty! (There M, I have put my paw down.)<br />

Hi Pals,<br />
<br />
You'll have to ignore D's feet in the picture. (Shh, Mario - you just called their attention to his feet now). It was difficult to crop them out M says. Anyway, see that platform I'm sitting on - well that is my prezzie from Sisfur and SIL at Christmas. SIL made the cat tree for me with his very own hands. He even put extra padding on hte top so I'd be extra comfy. Is he the bestest or what?<br />
<br />
I was so very surprised, and it just fits in the space that we had. Ever since getting it on Catmas Eve, I have perched on the top during the day - only coming down to eat my meals and sleep with M at night. Oh, I still visit my cat perch in M's bedroom because the sun puddles are there all afternoon. But the sun hasn't been out very much the past couple of days.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful for SIL and the cat tree he made for me. It is just purrrrfect and I really love iit.. <br />
<br />
I'm joining<a href="http://www.brianshomeblog.com/2016/12/thankful-thursday-blog-hop-dreaming-of-our-friends.html"> Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop</a>. Join in - it's fun and you'll meet new pals. Thank you Brian and dad for keeping this up. We are thankful to for you for leading the blog hop and for all the work you do with finding homes for kitties in your area.<br />
<br />
Pals, be sure to read Brian's blog today - it's extra special - Just like Brian and his family.<br />
<br />
Mario<br />

We will be home for Christmas this year. Sisfur and SIL came before lunch Christmas Eve morning (yesterday) and had lunch with us. Sisfur brought Lasagna ready to pop in the oven for supper. Of course I never get any of that. They spent the afternoon with us and left after supper. SIL made me a great cat tree perch, so now I have one in the living room too. Today, Christmas Day, they will drive to another city to be with SIL's family. We hope the weather will be good as they will have to drive for about 1 and 1/2 hours to 2 hours too and from that outing. M says winter's in Wisconsin make holiday traveling very interesting many times. This year they may have to worry about ice. We hope not as M will worry about them until they get back home tonight.</div>
<br />
We all hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy 2017.<br />
<br />
Love you all,<br />
<br />

Hi Pals,<br />
<br />
You have met my two cousin kitties before - Tucker and Tanner - who live with my sisfur and SIL. Well, the other day SIL sent M this picture. Now M goes nuts over these two guys cuz she loves them and thinks they are sooooo cute. I have to admit they are pretty nice too, as long as they leave MY stuff alone.<br />
<br />
This is the final straw - they are sitting under MY Christmas Tree. When we moved out of the house, sisfur told M she'd go thru the closet where all the Christmas stuff was and grab our artificial tree and some ornaments, etc. That is the tree sisfur took back to their house. She then bought us this tree:<br />

<br />
Pffft I can't even sit under this little, puny thing. Meanwhile the two T cats are living it up under MY tree! What do I do pals?<br />
<br />
M says we really don't have room for the other tree. I say get rid of a recliner!!! I guess it's too late for this year, but my two cousins under MY Christmas Tree is the last straw! We have a year to figure this out and they'd better come up with a solution.<br />
<br />

<br />
P.S. <b>M is asking for help</b>. The top picture was taken with a cell phone. Thus it came out side ways when it was emailed to us. It appeared side ways when I posted it to blogger. I then had to crop half of the picture off the top in order for it to post correctly. Anyone know of a way aorund this problem. In cropping it we lost the top portion of the tree - would have been a better picture if we could have had the top on the tree. I'd appreciate any tips you might have.?<br />
<br />
I really am thankful that M and D and I are all together.

Dear Pals,<br />
<br />
Another very sad week on Twitter. @DanaPixie's sweet TSK flew away to the Rainbow bridge suddenly. He had some toothies cleaned and he never woke up. Needless to say, @DanaPixie and @JimMoody are heart broken to have lost their precious kitty.<br />
<br />
If you know Dana at all, she keeps the #Pawcircle going on Twitter for the anipals in need. Dana has done so very much for so many pals one can't even count anymore. No one has worked harder for the anipal community than Dana.<br />
<br />
TSK started out to be a neighbor's kitty. But he kept coming by Jim and Dana's house. Finally one day, Jim and Dana talked to that neighbor and asked if she would mind if TSK would become their kitty. The neighbor said it would be fine. From that day forward, TSK was their precious furbaby. TSK accompanied them on bicycle trips, RV road trips and anywhere else this active couple decided to go. TSK loved Dana and Jim as much as they loved him.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile a very good Twitter pal, Ingrid of @Nocrrybabydogs, learned she had cancer and didn't have long to live. She and Dana were friends, so she naturally thought of Dana as a new human mom for her dog, Daffy. came to live with Dana and Jim right after ingrid crossed the human rainbow bridge. Daffy and TSK bonded right away. It was amazing to most of us on Twitter as to how quickly they bonded - thanks in large part to Dana and Jim's fantastic way with animals.<br />
<br />
TSK will be sadly missed by all of us on Twitter as he wass such a large part of Jim and Dana's life.<br />
<br />
TSK pal, you and I wiill meet again some day - just not right away as I'm not ready to cross that Rainbow Bridge.yet. M and I love you buddy and will always remember you. M sends big HUGS to your human parents, who are devastated.<br />
<br />
Mario<br />
<br />
PLEASE VISit:<br />
P.S. Dana created a memorial for TSK at: <a href="http://never-gone.com/Memorials/default.aspx?m=BoNTX4yhmCttDiGV3KDGXA%3d%3d">http://never-gone.com/Memorials/default.aspx?m=BoNTX4yhmCttDiGV3KDGXA%3d%3d</a><br />
